Questions and answers between Sen. Grassley and George Madison, Treasury general counsel nominee

The following press release was published by the United States Senate Committee on Finance Chairman's News on Aug. 5, 2009. It is reproduced in full below.

In your responses of August 5, 2009, to my questions you explain why you would not rescind the DOJ/OLC request sent by the Treasury OGC regarding the SIGTARP. Your previous answers also establish that you believe the SIGTARP is part of the Treasury Department, that the provision of documents by the Treasury to the SIGTARP would not waive any privileges, and that neither the Treasury Secretary nor the OGC has the ability to halt an audit or investigation initiated by the SIGTARP.

Questions and answers available in attached Printer-Friendly Version.
